10 THINGS I NO LONGER BUY: SAVE YOUR MONEY BY NOT BUYING THESE THINGS

[@angelaachee7933]

I just did a 80% purge of my makeup, perfumes, purses, clothes, shoes, accessories. It was harder than I thought. Im moving forward with choosing quality products that I will actually use.

[@tenwaystowearit]

That’s so awesome Angela. I can imagine how good that purge felt. I’m inspired by you. 😘♥️

[@jenniferwilliams6494]

Angela, I can get rid of almost anything but not my purses.

[@quelquun2018]

Right I grew up with the mindset, if it’s in sale by it, but I nipped that in the butt real quick, I don’t buy unless I feel it’s 🤩 when I try it on!!!

[@andrearandall7540]

Whew 😅 I know girl

[@tenwaystowearit]

Hi Everyone! Thanks so much for checking out the video. I hope it’s relatable on some level. So, I have to ask, have any of you ever bought some expensive meat or salmon and put it into the freezer only to later discover that the freezer basically cooked it? 🤦🏾‍♀️ After that happened to me a couple hundred times I stopped buying meat in bulk to store in the freezer. I also laid off buying vegetables to store in the refrigerator unless I’m planning to cook them within a few days. I got tired of throwing them away. Can anybody else relate to this? Love you all so much. Have a great week! 😘😘😘

[@stephaniezollicoffer7713]

Yes I am very guilty of over buying and over storing food in my freezer.

[@rochellegirl]

Yes! I stopped doing that too.lol

[@Only1QueenOfEverything]

I try NOT to freeze meat / seafood / poultry and if I do it’s no more than a few days. And, I prefer fresh veggies because my grandmother had a garden (with acres) back in the day. She set the tone for eating FRESH as much as possible…never veggies or fruit from a can - - a mortal sin according to grandma!

[@elanbentley]

Girl, I recently looked around and realized that I buy everything excessively. I am a shopaholic. I started going through clothes and shoes and I donated probably 600 pounds of clothes and shoes ( a lot with tags still on) to a local charity. It felt so good to get rid of all of that stuff. I used to be addicted to eyeshadow palettes. I had to have all of the new releases but I rarely wear anything more than an eye contour so I quit that a few years ago. Now on to the books…I love, love, love books. But I do re read certain ones and I develop an attachment to them and can’t seem to let them go. You’ve inspired me to purge some more of my things and quit buying so much.

[@empireorient733]

Girl I came to terms with my makeup addiction a few years ago. I was influenced by so many people online to buy the different brands, just to have them sit in my makeup drawer. Makeup does go bad after awhile and when I realized I was wasting money, I did a big purge and only purchased items I KNOW I would use on the regular. Too much excess hurts all our pockets.

I'm single and the time between the trip to the supermarket and what I want to eat at the moment has changed numerous times. The money wasted I don't want to think about 😣. You hit the nail on the head regarding skincare products. I think I'm a skincare junkie because I have only emptied one or two containers and my collection continues to grow.

7:45 Another thing I’ve started doing is just buying the 1.7 oz in perfumes, unless there are some that I just really love and will wear a lot more often (then I’ll buy a bigger oz). Besides that, go smaller, you can have more scents in smaller bottles, it will save you some money with the price difference between the 1.7 oz and the 3.4 oz (or bigger) and you won’t be wasting a whole bottle of perfume when you don’t use certain scents as much.

I agree with all of the purge items...skincare products are a work in progress. I am a recovering product junkie.

I just discovered your channel! Love your style and straightforward delivery of information! So refreshing to hear someone so young being so helpful to others about changing lifestyles and decluttering their lives! Please dont stop buying for your freezer tho…invest in a foodsaver machine and you will be done with freezer burn! Meats especially are the most expensive item in your freezer! Buy on sale and the food saver will save you in the long run. You can even use it for frozen veggies if you dont use the whole bag..breads, frozen fruits…Thank you for your good works and inspiration! Best wishes and please keep up the good work!

Love this list, love the purging. I've been looking around my place just trying to find where to put things I don't use. Thanks for the ideas.
